A very high degree of realism there, Frankie.  It looks like almost every third interchange here in the Charlotte area, especially as you go down towards Rock Hill or up towards Kannapolis and Salisbury.  I'm most impressed by that interchange with the RHW... it's inspiration to try it out sometime or another in my cities.

Frankie,

This MD continues to be absolutely outstanding... I'm so sorry I missed a few updates.  The interchange in the last screenshot is perfect... it's exactly what I'm trying to do with my own RHW overpasses.  Thanks for the inspiration  :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments! I'll get to replies in a bit...

For now I have one more pic to show off before my update:

Hillcrest High School, (Simpsonville, South Carolina). This area was nothing but forest 2 years ago, however it has been built up, quite a bit i'd say...


As you can see I re-created it to the best of my ability...

Great recreation there Frankie!

Sorry if I come back to your comment on the last page. Just wanted to tell you that the contest is fun. ;)
But I understand that you don't want to participate. Let's have fun here then. :thumbsup:

I suppose I'll do replies now :P (I know I've had a lot of teasers, lol)

Dioangel: Thanks!

guurgkud: well, wait no more!

BadSim: Thank you very much!

Aaron (pickled_pig): Thanks! The real update is here, so I hope you enjoy it  :thumbsup:

thundercrack83: Yessir! an exact re-creation requires all elements of the scene    ::)

Yoman: hehe..oh your funny :P

realdimension: Thank you!

Rooker1: It wasn't easy to recreate either  ::)

thundercrack83: glad you like it  :)

pickled_pig: Thank you for the praise, it really means a lot to me while i'm making this, and this interchange style seems to be very popular around here...

meinhosen: I'm very glad that you got something out of it  :thumbsup:

BadSim: I'm also glad you like it...took quite a while to measure all that stuff out for proper scaling

Glenni, thundercrack83 & Jayo: Thanks!

mjig_dudy: thanks for dropping by  ;)

Bongoswimp: Ah well, I do not stand a chance it that contest i'm sure  $%Grinno$%


Alright, I've turned my attention from suburban areas to more..docile environments. My inspiration was Lafayette, Alabama (my home state). The town has little changed since the late 1800's...with the exception of the Pinebelt Southern Railroad (from Lafayette to Roanoke Junction, near Opelika-Auburn, and a second line, isolated; from Nickolus to Hurtsboro, both in Alabama. Both segments have been abandoned :( )  closing operations to this town.


Anyway, here is that update:

Hope you like it!

Wow, I love how in the third picture the railroad tracks enter a yard on the outskirts of town, nice work.

Perfect!  What a great recreation of an old deep-South small town.  You just need to add a [lazy] sheriff's deputy sleeping behind the grain elevators and everything would be true to life  ;)
